Now, with the help of your microwave oven, you can serve twice the meal in half the time. Best of all, you
don’t have to remember to take the meat out of the freezer in the morning for an evening meal. Defrosting
techniques and fast cooking eliminate all these meal-planning roadblocks.
Cooking meat: tips & techniques
